A Few Updates

Chaz Powell has a rolled ankle, not great but he should be fine when the season starts.

Josh Hull in a conference call today said he fully expects to start this season but he's not sure at which linebacker spot. Hull also claimed that he was one of the best three linebackers on the team. Sorry Josh, you're not.

Speaking of linebackers better than Josh Hull, Navorro Bowman went to court today to find out the repercussions of his violating of his probation. Bowman was placed on another year of probation and if he fails a urine test or even enters a bar within that year he will go straight to jail for six months. It looks like there will be no major suspension. We need Bowman, this is good news, it could have been a lot worse.

With Paul Jones on the fence between Pitt and Penn State and Devin Gardner choosing Michigan, Penn State has been all over dual-threat QB Robert Bolden also from Michigan. Both Bolden and Jones were on campus this past weekend. Penn State wants both and the way it's looking right now, that might not necessarily be 100% out of the question.

Switching to the saga that is basketball recruiting, it looks like Xavier Henry is about ready to make a decision. I am hearing that Henry, who in my mind is a left-handed Kobe Bryant on film, will be selecting the Kansas Jayhawks tomorrow. Accompanying him will be his older brother C.J. How I understand it is that despite transferring, C.J. Henry would be immediately eligible due to the fact that he is not on scholarship. (The New York Yankees are paying his tuition.) Henry to Kansas plus Sherron Collins and Cole Aldrich not going pro early means that Born Ready will in all likelihood not be a Jayhawk. Look for Born Ready to either decide between his other two finalists, St. John's and Maryland, or open his recruitment back up. After Henry makes it official and Stephenson (Born Ready) decides what he wants to do, John Wall will be the last of the remaining elite prospects yet to decide on a destination.
